MTLNOVEL Chapter 1155: Defeated
Before departure, Li Wenli handed the well-preserved arrow feathers to Bai Sasa beside her.
"Sasa, help your brother-in-law keep this. I must hasten to take your sister home, be careful on the road."
"Uh-huh." Bai Sasa had no objections at all. She solemnly received the arrow feathers: "Brother-in-law, quickly take my sister to find Mr. Dan He."
Seeing Bai Sasa being so considerate, Li Wenli smiled slightly, then bent his knees and leaped into the air, quickly leaving the place.
Watching Li Wenli take to the sky, no one found it strange, as a Celestial God was naturally not an ordinary person, and it was normal for his qinggong to be extraordinary.
Moreover, just now, they both led the charge with a blade, which everyone witnessed.
While they could deal with one enemy with a single stroke, the Celestial God could swipe through a dozen or more.
Therefore, their qinggong being more formidable than ordinary people seemed nothing unusual.
Now, this place was in complete disorder, with the decapitated living dead utterly immobilized, with at least five to six thousand corpses crowded together.
Ah Dao and his seven couldn't handle it alone, so the Chieftain waved and left three hundred people there to assist Ah Dao in dealing with the bodies, while the rest were led back by the old Chieftain with Bai Sasa and the second-tier team, arranging defenses along the way.
...
On the other side, Yuwen Jun initially thought he would need to rely again on the undead nature of the Poisoned Men to navigate through pitfalls during the retreat.
Indeed, earlier, Yuwen Jun didn't have any method to break the formation; he utilized the undead nature of the Poisoned Men, who, even if pierced through by sharp arrows or impaled by bamboo spears, remained unaffected and continued to march forward.
This was the true usage of the Ghost General and Underworld Soldiers, capable of breaking all formations.
If he persisted today, capturing the Ownerless Land wouldn't be difficult, but he would suffer heavy losses.
These Underworld Soldiers were painstakingly crafted by him and couldn't be squandered here.
What he desired was the entire world!
Now that the wretch was dead, his goal was achieved, and as for Li Wenli, he could torment him slowly.
Yuwen Jun touched his body wounded by Li Wenli and spat silently.
Revenge is best served cold, even after ten years.
Originally, Yuwen Jun had prepared to suffer a major setback upon retreat, yet the road ahead was smooth, with none of the previous obstacles.
Overjoyed, Yuwen Jun declared: "Hahaha... Heaven assists me! Who else but me for this world? All who betray me shall die! All troops, follow me back to the Imperial Capital!"
He would form the most powerful army of Ghostly Soldiers, ensuring his name would be forever remembered in history!
With no effect from the formation, Yuwen Jun left unobstructed, vanishing swiftly with thousands of Poisoned Men.
...
On the other side, Li Wenli returned to the Immortal Mansion at the fastest speed.
The children were still sulking in the living room, while the elderly were preparing some external medicines for wounds.
There was no other way; they couldn't undermine others to demoralize themselves. After all, they went out to fight battles, and it wasn't easy to avoid minor injuries. Since these people couldn't help on the frontline, they ensured logistics were in place, even preparing water and food so everyone would have a hot meal upon return.
But to their surprise, after all the effort, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun returned first.
Due to Li Wenli's quick actions, directly returning to his room, no one noticed at all.
